douglas's portrayal helped inspire a whole generation of slicked back hair doos in double breasted seats adopting the greed is good ethos and pursuing the american dream as it had come to be defined now delivers a pretty well for a very few poverty and misery down on many and serving as a homicidal force for others because people do in fact die for lack of access to health care in the richest country in the world that's the us of a human consumption is in fact accelerating the instruction of our planet people do in fact die in wars waged based on lies that profit the precious few over five million children globally each year do not reach their fifth birthday because they die of starvation all of this is not because the system that puts man on the moon or can squeeze an entire library onto a computer chip the size of a thumbnail has failed to find a way to solve these problems rather our system without apology places corporate

greed. and greed take back the popular phrase is not good now the question many within the occupy movement are trying to solve is this one what would look like that had a culture and an economic system that places human need above corporate greed and how do we bring that world into being cares what it is called call it socialism call it real democracy now call it chunky monkey cherry garcia the world needs to change radically needs to change dramatically and it needs to change fast this documentary is an invitation for you to participate in that positive change frankly because we need to yes.

it's kind of so bad that well it's a very well to buy but makes it a problem if you just saw all the money in one place. at that. so i got to do is go the money is going to get for people that have the will. to keep the million yes six you want to hear. the wealth of thirty percent of american families you know one percent of the wealth of ninety five percent of america so now that we've identified the problem broadly speaking what do you think the solution is raise your hand if you think the way our representative democracy currently functions bought and sold as it is by wall street and super pacs offers a bright ray of hope forward anyone to the very same problem anyone politicians know if they step out spend their competitors they're going to when they're when the election ninety four percent of the time. so. they have no fear of the american

people they fear the people who are going to fund their campaigns right so that means that you me and just about everyone we know has very little say over who represents us and little to no influence over them once they get into office for a process is rigged to throw an enormous amount of money behind candidates in the two major parties and consequently choosing the lesser of two evils is something americans have done with a fatalistic shrug of the shoulders for far too long to say the u.s. government currently functions of foreign by the people would be a funny joke if the joke were not on you mean almost everyone we know imagine a world in which your single voice carried as much weight as the c.e.o. of goldman sachs and you're starting to imagine the world that the occupy movement is trying to bring into being we know always going to greet us not about unanimity we go be like a duke ellington jazz orchestra. everybody got they own voice and even duke is not the conductor he just one or two.

yes there is good luck and. good luck experiencing the horizontal community and culture and organization. was so radicalizing searching for and continues to be surrounded by because it draws such a stark contrast up against what they're fighting and actually in their minds clarifies what they're up against more than somebody. more than it would be clarified if somebody got up and tried to clarify it for thanks to occupy wall street there is a lot of new ways of organizing which is not just calling people to participate in something you came up with but giving people the opportunity to create themselves and to be part of their in a regional brainstorming about what to do so that they feel empowered in this moment and it's also i think. finally put the kybosh on let's organize a rally on

a saturday in washington d.c. when everything is closed and people come from around the country and spend a lot of money to walk around in a circle and they come home. i think. what . people might think it was by a certain degree much. i guess by saying look. i may no longer represent the people. the people are going to take.

thank you. thank. you thank. you. thank you. thank you thank you.

thank you. to. thank you. for. i. mean five thirty in the morning is a comedy on most mornings early in the occupy wall street movement there would only be about fifty maybe two hundred or so occupying the space but at five thirty in the morning on the morning of october fourteenth two thousand and eleven several thousand people were gathered there wide awake. because mayor mike bloomberg had declared that his own personal army his words the n.y.p.d. constituting the seventh largest army in the world would have victor occupy wall street and these thousands were there not just in solidarity they were there armed with an idea some cardboard signs in an urgency to protect the young movement and many of them were prepared to go to jail trying to pull the space i had already gone to jail once since all of this started as an organizer with the october two

thousand and eleven coalition i had been in washington d.c. in the early days of the movement and you can see me here after suggesting repeatedly i had met inside the hart senate office building that we find other uses for the money we lavish on our homicidal bull geo political china shop and the foreign policy i was given to do not pass go go directly to jail card and in a few days i would be arrested again this time for protesting corporate personhood on the steps of the supreme court. that it would occupy movement all around the world because we love. working people and. that jane joined us from the grave that we have the fact that it was. occupy d.c. the occupy wall street occupy supreme court not you everywhere in my willingness to go to jail for the movement though i was hardly unique and with the thousands that rings you carry on the morning of october fourteenth it seems that you're about to

eclipse the previous one day record total of seven hundred protesters arrested on the brooklyn bridge what was it that brought all of those people to use a comedy that this. not be a revolution in the traditional sense but this is a revolution of the light. blues and any it's not going to be stuff like police barricades and pepper spraying is it everything looks like a clean the you deliberately kill. in the first six months of the movement about seven thousand people have been arrested in occupy related protests for things like why all the fuss. and why in the predawn hours on that friday in october were so many prepared to go to jail. i thought.

when we were supposed to get cleaned out of the park we swept the show park and then we took brooms and we took them to the to wall street to co-create up wall street having most of the problems but the filth was in the offices so we can get to it but we did a little victory lap in the police brutalized this the rest of the people like you know they do that they have done that for trying to play for years in this country during that year's non violent confrontations with the police whether they be in asserting one's first amendment rights to assemble or uncommented spontaneous marches in the streets can be incredibly empowering movement building experience an antidote to the years of disempowering and williams free speech zone when it comes to be the mayor and yet civil resistance is but one part one tactic of the movement if you only saw the early stages of the occupy movement through the lens of the mainstream media you might think the movement was soley about clashes with the police.

well. technology innovation all the latest developments. around russia we've got the future covered. you know how sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm tom harpur welcome to the big picture.

offers an air show and an issue. was a matter you. left the residence never profited from the performances you'll see of coming our signature there when you look up and there's one captain on your he's the alpha beta gamma he was always the final trinitarian he's let out there know what's going on take a pinpoint. right now. shells become income mortal danger and a piece of art. still take them to. making him three. bombs and. on our team. the gold fever. turns thousands into slaves. much problem but also among

brothers involved and since i started working at the moment i stated. multi-nationals. cash cow to be milked dry i think that in this country gold medal logie as an environmental cost which is an acceptable local business was labeled illegal and controlled by criminals you know in order to protect our lives our families and to work in peace. we are forced to pay protection to illegal groups prices colombia going to pay. the bill. the modest effect on our t.v. .

and i can are you going to set me up. like this when i get. in there you are in a hurry and only civilians to get exact when you see that if i was your common sense i thought there'd be people. people that had nothing to do in anything. there's no. law that everybody has served in iraq afghanistan like you put him. back. in afghanistan my mother didn't get our back. come home i'm

a new york city my and the new york city and. there's no reason there's no because no one ever heard about our civilian. life. this is. a i guess delayed. police retired ok let's just be honest here for a moment for some people this is and justifiably so a battle about a police state since one nine hundred eighty the number of people in prison per capita in the united states has more than tripled we now in prison a greater percentage of our population than any other country in the world in fact the united states is only five percent of the world population has twenty five

percent of the world's prison population in the u.s. one in every one hundred six white males aged eighteen or over is incarcerated for hispanic males that number is one in thirty six and one in fifteen black males over eighteen is currently in jail. between one thousand nine hundred seven and two thousand and seven state spending on incarceration related expenses increased one hundred twenty seven percent while spending on higher education during that same period rose a mere twenty percent is it that much more profitable jail or population than it is to educate and. i think that's a great reason and again their head lock arms now you know why take me to you know if you want to continue to do this i rather go to jail you know watch you continue to put my brother my sister in law my moms or anybody else that looks like me and i read and think it should be a scary thing not just for those who own you know people of color minority can but out of us another we have to live in a society like that. ok so depending on your geographic location your

everyday reality may reflect the police state we live in two larger or smaller degrees but at least you have your health right at least you have your home. already made every time there are issues like that which are so far as your recreational mother. of every two thousand women are lonely and profiting no matter what. action taking place right now. in front of my camera all right. thank you you're welcome pal sometimes it demanding change on a large scale has to start with small groups of individuals saying enough is enough like this group of individuals and western massachusetts who gather in an attempt to stop the bank of america from executing yet another foreclosure auction. the fact is it's. five back to. a lack of government regulations gave banks

enough rope to operate like cowboys in the wild west and they responded by lassoing homeowners with these predatory lending practices when the housing bubble burst bank of america got bailed out and those with underwater mortgages were sold out so that c.e.o.'s like brian moynihan could collect the year end bonus of over nine million dollars a week lou with that they have enough money to pay for a reasonable war gauge at today's values so this is something that all of fluster can stand behind we believe that when folks have you know a home that they should be able to stay in that home and it's not like they're not willing to pay this is the weirdest movement i've ever worked in this way and the foreclosure movement because we are begging people to take money and they won't take it of course occupy hardly invented foreclosure defenses people like grace and i foreclosure organizations have been toiling away at this for years but when occupy wall street went to east new york in december to march occupy are more and more people around the country started to realize that there was another way to

thank god. was. that back to. where i got that right i think and then and sometimes demanding change in a large scale starts with even smaller groups dr margaret flowers is among the nation's leading advocates for true health care reform health care reform that would eliminate the for profit insurance companies and provide medicare for all individuals in the united states a former pediatrician and congressional fellow dr flowers worked within the system for years after the farmhouse i was traveling around the country and people kept saying well how are we going to get single payer i was speaking around you know various states and and i it's slowly kind of came together like oh well unless you know as a as a movement even though we're in the majority of the population wants a single payer system we're not going to be strong enough as a single issue. kind of movement to have that kind of political power and health

care is really part of a broader social economic justice movement anyway and so we really need to come together bring our strengths together combine our strengths to have the power and so i know this in my talks i was starting to shift more into you know calling for a broader movement as a core organizer of the october two thousand and eleven coalition that occupied freedom plaza in washington d.c. dr flowers thought fit to attend as an uninvited guest a wall street comes to washington health care conference i crashed the party with her i doubt they would let my big camera and so i had to shoot the video this impromptu meeting with the real death panels on myself was it how can we do that and that i don't have it i didn't i acceptable. practice because they can provide i was. was out i was. fine it seems like you're going to have a snow cave you will be you are right. so the value.

of it. sally. was. put on the street and join protestors picketing outside where a dare risk wrote shared her story of why health care was literally a life and death issue i came here because. for my father martin i was full of a suicide shock so it had every state. but because her life partner did have enough money to pay for health care i just take care of it and didn't want to ask because my sister and myself were fifty four years old this is the most considerate suicide that i've ever heard of and he had to quit sitting outside everything he had borrowed from everybody saying you know we turn this for this

person and cetera et cetera everything that could have possibly done me good night one right before shutting down said please tell me where i park my dollars from i have to find yesterday that it was you know i'm sure you understand this is something i have you can't hold you know without but simply not. that's why i'm here at this forum to stand and i've heard people like every person that lives for lack of access to health care something's father or son or daughter thank you take a stand up not only for my father but for all those like. you have found. it is a. thing i. think a public a i think you think you know my mortgage

is underwater and my health care costs are going through this here is america i'll just pull myself up by the bootstraps and get to work nose to the grindstone will solve all ills but be careful out there if you haven't noticed there is a war on workers well underway between one nine hundred eighty and two thousand and eight the average income of the bottom ninety percent remained effectively unchanged at thirty one thousand dollars per year in that same time span the average income of the top one percent went from four hundred thousand dollars to over one point one million dollars per year so much for trickle down economics in one thousand nine hundred a c.e.o. made forty two times that of an average employee by two thousand and ten to see those were earning three hundred forty three times a worker's median wage and while the rich got richer they were paying less and less taxes in one nine hundred forty five millionaires get a tax rate of sixty six percent in two thousand and ten millionaires effective tax
